Pumpkin Spice Puree
This is great in coffees and on top of desserts and waffles!
- 1 cup Pumpkin purée
- 1 cup Water
- 1/2 cup Coconut sugar
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp Nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp Allspice
- 1/8 tsp Cloves
- 1/8 tsp ginger
- Small pinch sea salt
Combine pumpkin puree and water in a blender and blend until very smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer/chinois/cheesecloth. Discard or save the pumpkin pulp. You can freeze the pumpkin pulp in silicone molds for use in smoothies or as a treat for your dog! Add the strained pumpkin liquid to a pan with the coconut sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium low heat. Simmer for 5 minutes, until it thickens and combines. Add the spices and stir to combine.
Pour the syrup into a container and store in the refrigerator. You can also pour the syrup into silicone ice molds and freeze them for a future use!
Maple Cream Cheese Coated Carrot Balls
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 4 oz of cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup of maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp of vanilla
- Pinch of sea salt
- 2/3 cup of shredded carrots
- 2/3 cup of oats
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 TB of maple syrup
- 1 TB of ground flax seeds
Combine lemon juice, room temperature cream cheese, maple syrup, vanilla and sea salt in a blender until smooth. Grab two small bowls and pour half the cream cheese mixture into each bowl. Cover one of the bowls with plastic wrap.
Add carrots, oats, cinnamon, 2 TB maple syrup and flax seeds to the uncovered bowl and stir to combine. Let sit for 10 minutes. Using a portion scoop or spoon, grab small balls of the carrot mixture and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Remove the balls from the refrigerator and dip each one in the cream cheese mixture. Freeze for 2 hours, or until hardened.
Enjoy!!
Breakfasts, Lunches and Dessert
New favorite smoothie combo: water, banana, cucumber, kale (blanched and then frozen), frozen mango, flax seeds, walnuts and collagen peptides!

Chocolate Yogurt Cups!
These were so yum and super easy!!
These cups feature three of my favorite products: The Coconut Cult yogurt (the literal best yogurt ever!), Hu Kitchen chocolate gems and Oat Haus chocolate granola butter!
I melted some chocolate gems with a bit of butter and used the melted chocolate to line my silpat muffin tray. (Pro tip: I froze the silpat for about 30 minutes before adding the chocolate. This ensures you can use the chocolate to cover the bottom AND sides of the muffin molds.) I chilled the chocolate covered muffin mold in the fridge for 10 minutes. Then I added some strawberry yogurt and topped it with some chocolate granola butter. I chilled the muffin molds for 10 more minutes and then added another layer of yogurt and granola butter. I topped them with some of the melted chocolate and chilled them for a few hours. The result: deliciousness!!!

Chop the rosemary into small pieces. Melt the butter over very low heat. Add about 1/2 tsp of rosemary to each ice cube mold and pour melted butter over. Freeze for at least a few hours. Enjoy!
